(WIP Roleplay between Brennen and Adriana)
"I go for walk now!" Adriana cried, racing out the front door of her home. She only paused once to check for her father's wave and bolted into the forest. It had been a while since she had been able to run outside freely and it was rather fun to see all the changes in the forest. "Waaaa! Flowers everywhere!" She cooed, leaping into a field of buttercups. "Pick some for dinner table! Chiii!"
Brennen bumped into Adriana as she leapt into the field of buttercups. "Oh, I-I'm sorry!" he stammered. This was awkward. Had this happened before? He couldn't remember bumping into someone like this before. "You're picking flowers?" he asked, steadying himself, then studying Adriana to ensure he hadn't hurt her. "I'm looking for my sister. Have you seen someone that--" used to look like him. But since he'd changed into--what he was now, he couldn't be sure his sister resembled him at all. "She's a celebi," he decided. "With wings and tennas like mine. She's pink, though. Not green. If you see her, you'll tell her I'm looking for her, right?"
Adriana looked up at Brennen with the innocence of newborn child, and tilted her head to the side. This had come out of nowhere and started asking a bunch of questions! Most of the things that he said flew over her head like a paper airplane as she looked him over. Suddenly, ruby red orbs snapped onto the antennae on Brenny's head, and she grinned. "Leaf sprouts!" She squealed, reaching up to pet his head. "Chiii! Green haiiiir!"
"Leaf sprouts?" Brenny repeated, blinking. That didn't make any sense. Wasn't she going to answer his questions? And--now she was focused on his hair. He paused, studying hers. "Hey, you have green hair too!" he beamed. "Maybe we're related, then!" With all the logic of a very young boy, he took Adriana's hand. "You can help me look! Maybe she's your sister, too! ...But you know, she's been lost for a long time. I've been looking for months. And I can't ever find her." He shook his head solemnly. "My friend Mitsuru said I'd find her one day, maybe. Do you think she's still hidingh from the cold?"
"Re-la-ted? Chii!" Adriana squealed, nodding along with Brenny. "Adri help! Sister can't go far, little right?" She patted Brenny on his shoulder and smiled. "No be sad, 'kay? Sad don't find nothing! Nothing at all!" She folded her arms and pouted, imitating Brenny's solemn look, before tilting her head again. "Cold? It spring now! No more cold! Silly sister!"
"Right. But she can fly pretty fast, and celebi can move through time..." he hesitated, blinking at Adri. "I never have though. I don't think she would..." But maybe she had. Would his sister cross times to escape his attentions? What if she had? What would he do then? He wouldn't know which time, or where she'd gone. "I don't know," he said. "She was gone in Winter too..."
[7:38:05 PM] Valerie Stubberfield: Adriana blinked and tapped her finger against her chin. Time traveling sister that hides from cold and flies really fast? Was she a fairy tale warrior princess? She gazed to Brenny and nodded to herself, he was shiny enough to be a warrior prince, she why couldn't sister be the same? She patted Brenny's shoulder and smiled up at him. "Easy so-lu-shun!" She exclaimed. "She went to save 'da world and will come home when world is safe again! Chiii! Then we play all day together!" She wrapped Brenny in a tight hug. "No worry, be happy! Sun shine's all 'round!"
Brenny stared at Adri. He made a face. Had he somehow found himself in the world of the magic box? The television Connie had assured him more than once, where the people were not quite real? "I don't think so," he said, with a shake of his head. "I don't think she'd save the world if it needed saving. She's really shy and hates humans. I think she'd hate me, if she saw me like this, too. She doesn't like humans... and I look kind of human..." the celebi boy's lip trembled. It wasn't fair! It wasn't fair at all.
Adriana's face fell at the sight of his trembling lip. What did she do to make him sad? Adri was a good girl! She never made people cry! She gazed up at him in confusion for a moment and her own lip began to quiver. "Adri is sorry," She said, looking to the ground. "I don't un-der-stand 'lots of big things sometimes n' I want help you..." She paused, biting her lip. "I am not a good sister, can't help you find sister. Chiii...."
Brenny wrapped his arms around Adri. "No," he said, shaking his head. "Let's be brother and sister. I can't find my other sister, and I don't think if I did, she'd come with me. But you like me, right? And we'll always play together!" He beamed at the thought. "If you don't wanna stay with us, we can still be sister and brother, okay? Because we've got green hair!"
Adriana beamed at Brenny and wrapped him in a tight squeeze. "Chiii! Yes! I be your sister!" She cried, nuzzling him. "We run in the forest and visit lakes and play games together! Yaaaaay!" She snuggled him a little more before pointing into the forest where she had come from earlier. "Adri lives in house down there!" She said. "Daddies and aunties and sisters and friends, all live with Adri! Brother can come stay, too!"
"I can visit," Brenny said with a nod. "But not stay, okay? My Daddy needs me. He'd be all by himself if I wasn't there." He shook his head. He'd never leave Connie. "But I will visit! Promise! And you can visit me. I'm going to have a lemonade stand soon so I can buy Daddy a present! You can help. Would you like that?"
"Okay, my daddies need me too!" Adriana nodded, her fathers meant the world to her. They did find her when she needed them the most! Her eyes lit up wide at the idea of a lemonade stand and she grinned. "Yes! Adri help you with lemonade! Chiii!" She paused, glanced back into the forests, and giggled. "Daddy can make other stuff, too! He cooks chicken, makes Ice Tea and bakes COOKIES!" She squealed. "Best cookies EVER, says daddy!"
Brenny beamed. "Okay! Daddy can help us with the lemonade!" He paused, blinking. "Oooh. Yeah! Cookies and lemonade would be good! My daddy and me don't eat chicken, it's meat, and we don't eat meat. Ice tea is okay, but I like lemonade best! Lemonade and cookies!"
"What cookies you like best?" Adriana squeaked, practically bouncing in place. This boy was so much FUN! He likes lemonade, cookies, and is her brother! Where had he been all winter when she was so bored and tired of listening to her aunt complain about how hot the house was? "Adri likes sugar cookies that look like STARS! Don't like oatmeal cookies, 'do."
"I like peanutbutter cookies best," Brenny said excitedly. "They're the best! I had some at the park withmy friend and they're really the best. I don't like stars, though. My Daddy warned me about stars after what happened. It was kind of scary, but I didn't mind," he beamed. "But I don't like stars much, all the same. They're pretty up in the sky. I like them when they're up there. ...Do you think they're really shaped like star sugar cookies?"
"Peanutbutter tastes good with jelly!" Adriana giggled. She loved PB&J, it was one of her favorites. Her eyes went wide at the quesion about the stars. "Maaaaybee... You think we can eat'em too?" Her mouth pursed a little as she looked up at the sky. "Daddy says stars are very very hot, so they be in a big big OVEN!" She giggled. "You ever have cookies with jelly in 'em?"
Brenny hesitated before smiling. "I don't know. Maybe. People say the moon is made of cheese! So maybe stars are really cookies!" But that didn't explain the star he'd found. It'd been metal and shiny. "I don't think they'd taste very good. I heard stars are very old. So they'd be very stale."
Adriana made a face. "Stale star cookies? Eeew!" She chirped, turning her nose in the air with a giggle. "I wonder who bake the stars, must be busy all the time!" Then, she turned to look at Brenny again. "What your name?" She asked.
"Maybe it's a pokemon," Brenny said thoughtfully. "It must be a legendary to have ovens that big... Must be lonely too, to have so many stale cookies. Must not have anyone to give them to." He frowned at the thought. To have no one to give cookies to... That seemed like a terror he wasn't willing to face. "My name's Brenny!"
"Very lonely, chiii..." Adriana agreed, her face falling slightly. "I would take stale cookies, make them smile!" She giggled. "Brenny is good name! I am A-dree-ahnah! My daddies gave me that name."
"It's a pretty name!" Brenny said with a smile. "My full name is Brennen. I think my sister gave me that name. I've always had it, even before I had Connie. But I can't remember. Someone must have." He paused, "Do you have a nickname? I like Brenny best. I think I'll call you Adri. That's easy and nice. Hi Adri!"
"Hi Brenny!" Adriana giggled, waving at him. "Everbody calls Adri, Adri. My daddy is called Dai and my other daddy is called 'Baster. They have lots of other not so nice names that my auntie Crystal says to them, too, but I not 'pose to say 'em." She tapped her chin again and smiled. "What is sister's name?"
"My sister's name is Cecily! Have you seen her?" Brenny, it seemed, would never give up hope. "If you do meet her, you'll tell her I'm looking for her? I miss her. I haven't seen her since before I found my Daddy... She must be all alone."
"Chiii! Very pretty name!" Adriana chirped, tapping her chin again. Had she seen Brenny's sister? She thought back to what he had said earlier, he said she was pink and not human like he was. After a moment or so, she frowned and shook her head. "No, Adri hasn't seen Cecily. But we find her together!" She grabbed Brenny's hand and grinned. "I promise, we find sister Cecily!"
Brenny wrapped arms around Adriana, smiling. "Yay! We'll find her together! Then we can tell her we're her sister and brother. She'll like us, then! Maybe she'll be like us someday. Then she'll need someone to help."
